The Low Tier – Atlanta

Cody Ware – Last year at Atlanta, Cody Ware escaped with results of 23rd (summer) and 26th (spring, crashed and missed 25 laps). On Sunday, I think Ware has similar upside thanks to the high-level of carnage that is likely looming. I view Daytona as the most similar superspeedway and Ware has been sneaking in good results there recently with his average finish over the last three races being 12.3! In this year’s Daytona 500 he finished 14th. Perhaps Ware has some more good luck in store for Sunday?

JJ Yeley – JJ Yeley has no applicable track record at Atlanta, since he’s never competed on the superspeedway racing variant. That said, Yeley’s fantasy value this weekend comes from attrition to others, and then him dodging the carnage himself. Realistically, I think he’s about a 25th to 30th place driver when you calculate in attrition, which of course includes him avoiding it. In this year’s Daytona 500, Yeley didn’t compete. Last year at superspeedways, Yeley only competed at Talladega and his results were 25th and 31st.

BJ McLeod – At Atlanta, BJ McLeod like other drivers in this post, his fantasy value is all reliant on attrition. Last year, McLeod crashed early in the summer (36th) and then in the spring he completed all the laps and finished 19th. In this year’s Daytona 500, McLeod finished 30th.
